I was expecting a tough game today but didn't expect to be close on two goals down in the last.
We hung tough and won the game which is a huge bloody relief but Carlton deserve the plaudits given their stone motherless last.

What a fantastic win. Every contest was hard fought to the last seconds, every goal epic in the contest. Couldn't care less about how hard we made it look. It was genuinely tuff because carlton were in for the fight. We won an brilliant hard fought game.
Well done to all the boys. How good is it to win one like that.

It was a strange games from Adam. He just looked as though he couldn't keep up in the first three quarters. WHE had a similar game, finally turning it on in the last quarter.
Gutsy win, full of merit. Ten minutes to go Carlton had a run on, but we managed to scoot away after that. That takes great belief (perhaps helped by Carlton's doubts about their own ability to run it out???  ) |

Well, they certainly deserve to be stone, motherless last - they've worked hard for it and deserve it. How many number 1 draft picks did they have running around for that result? 16 or 17? |

Check out WHE's last quarter as well by the way. Both were down and both lifted when needed.
Really need to improve our kicking for goal. it was atrocious today.

Me too
Annnnd. He’s gone again!
But a couple of prickle arses changed their tune pretty quick!!
Couldn’t give a rate how ugly it was, after the arm chair ride that 2011 was and the way it finished up I want this team to have to fight and scrap for it, complacency builds contempt!
Go Pies! Cheers 🍻

Yes, I had to bench myself for a breather when Cripps put them in front. I went outside and stared at the washing (even thought about hanging some of it up) and when I came inside we were seriously struggling. Obviously those couple of minutes on the pine for me did the trick - Carlton barely touched the ball after I came back to watch the end.  |

Good on ya simon!!! We could have easily let that slip if we were made of lesser stuff. It was a really fantastic effort.
I am so over members who get on the game thread and rubbish our team. Apparently they expect our players to be machines and for all other teams to be totally hopeless.  It's so refreshing to read a post like yours which shows appreciation for what our team can do. |

With 7 min left we were 10pts down —oh dear I’ll get ready for pub
Next check we had got in front to win by 19pts
10+19 that’s 29 points in 7 minutes
Phew !!!!
